2009 enters with a bang of fireworks after the count-down in all countries that can afford the display and has something to celebrate, but for some it is the start of another war, and some others the beginning of a new term of leadership, who has plans to change America and will impact the the world, it is the stage where he will be put to the test of matching his action with his words.

Tell us your wishes for 2009, some personal, some religious, some corporation some national and some global. Write you wishes here to vent your frustrations or to fraternize or shore up your gains and fortunes or even to make new friends and hopes for family ties.

Let me start by sharing the words starting with the letter "F".

• Family - my wish for my family - my son finds a wife and builds his family - he is 36 years old. My daughter's girl, only 3 months old will grow up to be beautiful with big eyes, long eye-lashes cheerful looking and smooth skin complexion like mother.

• Friends - wish all my friends success in their jobs, business, and education.

• Foes - my enemies will also have good health and safety in their work.

• Fraudsters in Alibaba and outside world be brought to justice, to learn that crime does not pay, they have to work hard to earn money, for the year of the OX.

• Free Trade will continue to be practised and the concept of market-driven economy flourish, with bright future outlook.

• Frontiers to be established, and the fruition of their marketing plans and more ties and partnerships be forged.

• Fire watchers in California and Australia be more vigilante, and there be lesser force majeure and calmaties.

• Fine weather for the year 2009 without floods or draught or hurricanes.

• Food prices be stable, with the basic need of the people met with more supplies to be used to feed the hungry.

• Financial institutions be prudent and honest, no scam, frauds or dishonest people remains.

• Figure heads know what they are doing, supposed to do and be bold to do it even jeopardise their political face-lifts.

• Fidelity of husbands and wives, CEO and workers to the spouse, companies and country.

• Fission rather than fusion of the nuclear energy to give mankind a cleaner, safer source of energy for the future generation.

• Fuzzy - the future be less fuzzy, the debts be cleared, and budget deficit put to the blacks.

• Fantastic sales for the companies on the front lines of the US Credit Crunch saga.

In conclusion, I wish you all: good health, better wealth, and happy family relationships for the new year.
